In June 1977 Reps. Frank Horton of New York and Norman Y.

The majority of the workers who laid the tracks were Chinese immigrants."〔〔 President Jimmy Carter would sign a joint resolution for the celebration on October 5, 1978.〔 In 1990, George H.W. Bush signed a bill passed by Congress to extend Asian-American Heritage Week to a month.;〔 May would be officially designated as Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month two years later.
